Platelet-Rich Plasma for Erectile Dysfunction After Radical Prostatectomy

2 novembre 2026 mis à jour par: Mikkel Fode, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital

Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction After Radical Prostatectomy With Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will test whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve erectile function in men with persistent erectile dysfunction (ED) at least 12 months after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either two PRP injections or two saline (placebo) injections into the penis, administered one month apart in a double-blind fashion. Erectile function will be assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the last injection. The primary objective is to determine whether PRP improves the erectile function domain of the IIEF more than saline at one month after the last injection

Description détaillée

Erectile dysfunction is common after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and may persist despite recovery from the initial nerve injury. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from autologous blood and contains growth factors that may promote angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. Preclinical studies suggest that PRP may improve erectile function after cavernous nerve injury, but PRP remains an experimental treatment, and no published study has specifically evaluated its effect in men with erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy.

The hypothesis is that intracavernosal PRP injections improve erectile function more than saline injections in men with erectile dysfunction persisting 1-3 years after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.

Eligible participants will be stratified according to unilateral or bilateral nerve-sparing surgery and randomized 1:1 to receive two intracavernosal injections of either autologous PRP or saline, administered one month apart. An unblinded team member who has no direct interaction with participants will prepare the injections. The participant and the physician administering the injection will remain blinded to treatment allocation. Syringes will be covered with opaque material to maintain blinding.

Blood will be collected before each injection in all participants. For participants assigned to PRP, the blood will be used to prepare the treatment. For the first 10 participants assigned to saline, PRP will also be prepared and analysed to verify the platelet concentration achieved with the preparation procedure. Blood collected from the remaining participants assigned to saline will be discarded.

Participants must discontinue other treatments for erectile dysfunction for four weeks before baseline and until the assessment one month after the last injection. Thereafter, other treatments for erectile dysfunction will be permitted and recorded.

Erectile function and other study outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the last injection. The primary outcome is the between-group difference in change from baseline in the erectile function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function at one month after the last injection.

Description de la mesure
Délai
Change in IIEF-EF score from baseline to 1 month after the final treatment session
Délai: From baseline to 1 month post the last intervention

Change in the erectile function (EF) domain score of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) from baseline to 1 month after the final treatment session. The change in IIEF-EF score will be compared between the PRP and saline groups using an intention-to-treat analysis.
